Earth: One Amazing Day Page #2
rare in the natural world.
Time to spare.
And, to explore.
[panda softly grunting]
Because of their specialised way of life,
giant pandas are amongst
the rarest animals in the world.
Cubs like her are more precious still.
There are only a few hundred alive.
A rare animal with the rarest luxury.
Time.
As the morning sun grows in strength,
it begins to brew a spell
of a different kind.
The Sun is pouring energy
into our atmosphere, heating it up.
It evaporates water from land and sea,
and builds clouds.
Across Africa, clouds and weather
are constantly on the move,
bringing rain and fresh grass
to different places at different times.
For millions of animals,
the job of every morning is to move
to where the rain
will make the grass grow next.
This morning,
the need to keep moving will present a
particular challenge for one young zebra.
This foal could walk
less than an hour after birth.
She can handle almost anything.
But she's never faced
an obstacle like this.
Swollen by highland rain,
the river is fast and furious.
And full of dangers.
The young zebra is going to need
every bit of her mother's help,
if she's going to make it.
[zebras whinnying]
It turns out the biggest threat
isn't attack by other animals,
it's the river itself.
Her mother tries to lead the foal
to the shallowest waters,
but she's just too small.
And the current's just too strong.
The foal is on the verge of exhaustion,
but her mother will not give up.
[zebra whining]
While others are escaping,
she calls for her foal to keep going.
And finally, a way out.
There is a saying in Africa,
"if you wanna go quickly, go alone.
If you wanna go far, go together."
After this,
the zebra foal and her mother can surely
handle anything the day throws at them.
The Sun is approaching
its highest and most powerful.
In the far north, in the Arctic,
ice has held land and ocean
in its grip for months.
The Sun near the poles is always lower
and weaker than anywhere else.
[ice rumbling]
But still, its energy will transform.
Narwhal.
One of the most mysterious
animals on the planet.
For the moment they can't travel far,
only small openings in the ice
allow them to surface and breathe.
But the power of the Sun
For many days
the Sun's heat has been gnawing away
at the ice's hold on sea and land.
Now, approaching its highest
and strongest, the Sun begins to triumph.
[ice crackling]
And the battle of heat against cold,
becomes a rout.
On land, rivers flow again.
In the oceans, where the ice is now weak,
the Sun's warmth, opens cracks.
